Newcastle have signed right-back Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid for £12m, plus add-ons.
The England right-back has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the option of a further year.
Trippier flew into Tyneside on Wednesday in a private jet following the conclusion of smooth and positive talks between the two clubs on Tuesday.
The club are paying £12m plus add-ons to make the 31-year-old the first signing under Newcastle’s Saudi owners.
Newcastle are awaiting clearance regarding Trippier’s availability to play against Cambridge United in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

10 more outfield players to go
12 million 😒 thay ask 40 million from Manchester United . Do you think we are idiots ( 12 million on paper 📜 and in reality 50 million 😏 )
Good signing ! I really hope Newcastle escape relegation !! A club with huge potential !
How did you get him for 12 million! Arsenal fan here but have always had a soft spot for Newcastle. Hope you get 2 more players and stay up this year
Absolute steal for 12M quality player
Good signing adds experience to that team
Every fan in the country wants to see Newcastle doing well but will not happen with this manager!
A fair price and a positive sign they have good business acumen. He is an experienced rugged player who should suit life in the north east. Not many footballers play for England approaching 32 but maybe he will be lucky and gain a few more caps.
Wait I swear 12mil is an absolute bargain I thought he was playing well in spain
great
He has just Ruined himself
He's come for the money don't kidd yourself ✌️🇬🇧
But it was 40 mil for United , so unethical and unbusiness like
Good deal for all parties
Newcastle are frauds ffs they won't win anything
Villa better than newcastle they signed a world class player like coutinho calibar villa will over take newfraudstle lmao what a joke this club is turning into sgining experience overage players while you could of signed auba and laca lmao what a joke
Apparently Amazon are going to make a documentary about Newcastle. It's going to be called 'Oil or Nothing'.
It's ok with the donkey for life in championship.
Typical Overrated English player
Enjoy the Championship next season Trip!
Newcastle need 7 players not 1 player cmon Ed buy the best and make St James park impossible to get a ticket as they are all sold out every game
Yeah right 😏 he is not in because of the financials
Breaking news, 19 Premiership clubs have held a meeting with the Premier League because we have too many players with short back and sides now, they want to bring a new rule in which states you can only have a maximum of 5 players with this hairstyle, the reason behind this is because it brings more aerodynamics to a players speed which evidently goes against fair play.
We’re 19th in the league he’s worked with Eddie before and just won La Liga, proven to be the best right back in Spain all while being a northern English man it’s a fantastic first signing for us
The same Trippier that was gna cost man u €40????
Terrible career decisions champions league to relegation battles
I like how people be saying Trippier is Championship quality and old and washed. Man was England’s preferred RB over all the other talents, in La Liga’s TOTY last season and was crucial to Atletico’s road to champions. Tell me you don’t watch football without telling me you don’t watch football.
So why were Athletico trying to get about 30 to 40 mil pounds from UTD. They sold him for just 12 mil? Wow what a bargain
Mad that Saudi Arabia bought Trippier. He'll tear the Championship up next season.
A rw two cm and a defender
Toon ganing Doon 😅☺️🤣🤣🤣 toon ganing Doon 😅☺️🤣🤣🤣 toon ganing Doon 😅☺️
What a bargain that is
Saudi will go to relegation. Period.
What a STEAL!!!! 12M!!! For a La Liga Champion, I didn't think they'd let him go that cheap.
What's so unreal to me is to see humans having a price tag like we do in the animal market .it shouldn't go this way . Players should only join the club that interest them and get pay base of their performance . This is human trafficking in modern way
Like
I'm not a Newcastle fan but this is the start that's never going to end
great debut lad lost to one biggest clubs in england
Ban white players
Sensible transfers!
He has come to win the FA Cup 🙂 …. Well done Cambridge by the way.
Newcastle starting off great, Tripper is a good signing for them
